Started talking with Erick Yukas about getting a car from the auctions.
We agreed that he would help me to purchase a car and get it fixed if I gave him my 1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT.

Around this time car started having electrical problems (again?), so went back to Erick.

Audi fixed. Sent email to my boss telling her I needed to get off work to pick up the Audi. Get there...Audi not fixed. And actually they hadn't even worked on it. Erick just wanted me to go down there with him to see if they were working on it. After being reassured that it was the next one on their list, I leave it with the mechanics to repair.

Police Report

Police Report Filed: July 30, 2010

My Information: Name: Bradley R. Monk

Around two years ago my neighbor helped me purchase an Audi from a car auction for $7700. He took the car to his mechanic for repairs and after some minor body work and a new intercooler everything seemed to be working fine. But after about 2 months, it started having some electrical problems. So he took it back down to his mechanics. It’s been at his mechanic for a while now, so I asked him to get it back so I could just take it to the dealer. He said he had to take it to Tijuana for repairs, at which point I told him to bring it back to me immediately, he never had permission to do this. Two weeks ago I just told him I would contact the police if he did not return the car. Since then, he has not answered his phone, responded to email, or text message, and has been completely absent from contact. I’m pretty sure he just stole it. I just reported the incident to my insurance company.

I can provide a list of receipts, photos, and email correspondences if necessary.
